Re: VW engines what prop

Revmaster can take wood/composite/metal props....even an oil -controlled constant speed prop Revmaster had lots of problems with that CSU metal prop setup and canned it completely. If its direct drive stick to a wooden prop. Very true , that was the Maloof prop to be exact, BUT and HOWEVER, those p...

Re: VW engines what prop

Go Vert, the Revmaster series can use composite props Ivo, and Warp-drive because of the 4340 chromolly cranck and the big no 4 main bearing at the prop-hub end.

Re: Building the new Bushbaby SAFARI
